Contemplation: Peace Within

310 0

I recently read the following passage by philosopher James Allen in his collection Mind is the Master, and it really resonated with me (particularly the final line), thought I’d share:

“The storm may rage without, but it cannot affect us if there is peace within. As by the fireside there is security from the fiercest storm, so the heart that is steadfast in the knowledge of Truth abides in peace, though all around be strife and perturbation. The bitter opposition of men and the unrest of the world cannot make us bitter and restless unless we enter into and co-operate with it. Rather, if we have peace in our heart, will the outer turmoil cause our peace to deepen, to take firmer root, and to show forth more abundantly in works of peace for the softening of human hearts and the enlightening of human minds.”

He who speaks evil of another cannot find the way of peace.
